The problem with your stance is that it is oxymoronic. The terms “establishment” and “government” are just a fancy way to distract people. The “establishment” and “government” are just a group of individuals. That is all they are. And all human individuals are motivated by self interest. Asking any group of self interested individuals to act on behalf of the self interest of others will always fail. If you asked me to dedicate my life to the city of New York, I’d ask “what’s in it for me?” It doesn’t matter if the internet exposes their lies. They’ll always find a new way to deceive stupid people. From doctors to scientists to activists to celebrities. The problem lies with the incentives.
